i remember the first time i threw down a 3 i felt so steezy and thought i was the sickest thing to hit the slopes. i was lookin back on it today when i saw someone throw a double cork and its sort of depressing to realize that a 360s like nothin

When I throw a three I struggle more than pros do with dubs.

I have trouble doing less, slower spins, even o rollerblades. I can do them, but they don't looks as cool as 540's or 720's.

I landed my first 3 today. But I was doing it right beside the biggest jump, where 9 and dub corks were thrown down. Let's say, nobody saw my first one, but I felt good. I don't care if they don't see me as the illest rider. I was happy.

Because karma and post count on an ONLINE FORUM directly correlate with skiing abilities?

I'm can't wait till i hit 600 posts or 5000 karma, then i'll totally rank up and throw rodeo 9's dood!

wow...

i can throw 3's down no prob any size jump(well at my hill which theres 2) and the guys throwin corks thought they looked super steezy. right now im working on my 5's i get them like 50% of the time, but i always spot my landing for the 3 by accident and stop spinning and end up eating shit. steep landings are the shit, almost pain free to bail.
